This is rather common. I wound up renaming several subdirectories back to all upper case because I kept getting this error. Since I dont have an InnerDrive for GS/OS 3.0 yet (and the new system recognizes my UDC w/ 3.5" drive as a UniDisk but doesn't install the driver for it (!!)), I have both versions of GS/OS on my hard drive. The old version uses ProDOS v1.7, which doesn't cope with altered version numbers very well... The easiest solution is just to use ProDOS v1.8 everywhere. > --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems -- fadden@cory.berkeley.edu (Andy McFadden) ...!ucbvax!cory!fadden
